We highly recommend watching the short video above as an orientation to the Classes and Categories for the DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Awards.
In choosing your option, the first major distinction is between Publications, Content Items and Campaigns.
Publications, including Written and A/V Publications, will be judged as a whole, based on the judging criteria. For example, if a magazine article (or issue) were submitted in Class A. Periodicals > Category 5. Articles and Stories, judges would consider the design, layout, copywriting and graphics of the article (or the entire issue).
Content Items will be judged on their own merit, distinct from the publication in which they appeared. For example, if a magazine article were submitted in Class H. Writing for Periodicals > Category 2. Magazine, judges would consider the written content of the article without regard to design, photography or other articles in the magazine.
Campaigns generally consist of multiple and varied publications and content items. They are judged as a whole, and primarily on their effectiveness at meeting objectives. Be sure to include results in your summary.
Each Publication and Content category breaks down further into a single work or series of planned works with a common theme or purpose and by the same author(s). A/V Productions can also submit a segment of single work, such as one portion of a longer broadcast.
Use the chart below to give you ideas. When you fill out the entry form, it will help you drill down to the right Class and Category.
